• Zhen Yuanzi asked Taiyi how he could use the Dao-Proving Method to become a Sage.
• Taiyi argued that the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity each offered a path to proving the Primordial Great Dao.

Zhen Yuanzi accepted the gift and learned that Hongyun might reincarnate after Houtu established the Six Paths of Reincarnation, leaving him grieving over the uncertain fate of his old friend.
